Default Clockwork Orange a Masterpiece Film By Stanley Kubrick

1971
Political, Informative.
A true Masterpiece.


[Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian crime film
written, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick.
It is based on Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel.
The film employs disturbing and violent themes
to comment on psychiatry,
juvenile delinquency, youth gangs,
and broader social, political,
and economic issues in a
dystopian near-future Britain.

Alex (Malcolm McDowell), the central character,
is a charismatic, anti-social delinquent whose
interests include classical music
(especially that of Beethoven), committing rape,
theft, and "ultra-violence".
He leads a small gang of thugs,
Pete (Michael Tarn), Georgie (James Marcus),
and Dim (Warren Clarke), whom he calls
his droogs (from the Russian word друг,
which is "friend", "buddy").

The film chronicles the horrific crime spree
of his gang, his capture, and attempted
rehabilitation via an experimental psychological
conditioning technique (the "Ludovico Technique")
promoted by the
Minister of the Interior (Anthony Sharp).
Alex narrates most of the film in Nadsat,
a fractured adolescent slang composed
of Slavic languages (especially Russian),
English, and Cockney rhyming slang.]

Tbh today's standards just thinks being gross and weird just for the sake of being gross and weird is the new "edgy.”

And then the rest of today's stuff that doesn't fall into the category above is Weenie Hut Jr.
